Commend cab driver

Cab driver Brian Newman should be commended for having the common sense and courage to notify Springfield Police in the alleged assault and kidnapping on Saturday morning at a downtown nightclub. Hopefully, if the two Saudi Arabian men are found guilty, they will not be given the minimal punishment, such as happened with another Saudi student who killed a man with his car. This young lady is lucky to be alive, thanks to Newman and the Springfield PD.

Why higher gas prices?

Gasoline was 52 cents per gallon more here than in Arkansas. Could it possibly be price gouging?
